Kanedas Bike Posted July 2, 2015 Posted July 2, 2015 so should i wait for BBTS? Was up till 5 am (EST) yesterday and I'm asking myself that exact same question. At least I got that other pre-order I wanted. -b. Quote

Kanedas Bike Posted July 2, 2015 Posted July 2, 2015 what was the other pre-order? was it the bandai hi metal hikaru 1s? Yes sir - from Hobby Search no less. Even had the MB Strike Freedom in my cart at Hobby Search, 1 click away from finalizing the order and cart jacked. -b. Quote
F360 Posted July 2, 2015 Posted July 2, 2015 so should i wait for BBTS? For your Extra MB? I'm kinda surprise there's no news on the preorder of this MB from any of the usual USA websites yet, Maybe tomorrow ? Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted July 2, 2015 Posted July 2, 2015 For your Extra MB? I'm kinda surprise there's no news on the preorder of this MB from any of the usual USA websites yet, Maybe tomorrow ? i haven't preordered one yet, i was out of town in MA last night and couldn't stay up late. wondering if amazon will carry it.

Loop Posted July 2, 2015 Posted July 2, 2015 (edited) Actually guys, BBTS is usually late to open up the pre-order by days or even a week if I remember correctly. They send out an e-mail that shows hot new items, the one that says Bandai in the topic is the best way to tell. Edited July 2, 2015 by Loop Quote

Loop Posted July 2, 2015 Posted July 2, 2015 Nah, I am good with one. I only tend to get duplicates if it's a valk. Quote
F360 Posted July 2, 2015 Posted July 2, 2015 I preordered 2 .. My valk buying habits transfer to my other toys too . Quote
ErikElvis Posted July 2, 2015 Posted July 2, 2015 I preordered 2 .. My valk buying habits transfer to my other toys too . I'm really not trying to let that happen. I remember when one valk was ok. Then I wanted doubles. Then occasionally triples.... Quote
Loop Posted July 2, 2015 Posted July 2, 2015 I know right? Squad building is fun. In this case though Macross is my primary concern, although the Metal Builds are really nice toys. Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 ok, looks like one is enough for me as well Quote
chyll2 Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 I was able to get a PO from one of the local sellers. Big difference between Gundam and Macross toy. For Gundam, I have lots of supplier to choose from and can easily wait and choose the cheapest wherein the average price is almost the same if I ordered from Japanese retailers and shipped it here in PH For macross toys, very few supplier offers it and usually it has limited stocks or inflated price.

Loop Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 (edited) LOL, I think I'm sticking with one.. Edited July 3, 2015 by Loop Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 LOL, I think I'm sticking with one.. i keep clicking on the bbts link and staring at the add to cart button Quote
calubin_175 Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 (edited) I managed to get 2 for a low price, and 1 at a premium from Yahoo Japan Auction. Will play with one, give one away as a present, and one mint. Edited July 3, 2015 by calubin_175 Quote
Loop Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 (edited) i keep clicking on the bbts link and staring at the add to cart button David, Stop it. Stop it right now lol. I keep looking at it too. *Edit* I just checked out with a qty of 1. At least if I change my mind, it can be easily cancelled. Edited July 3, 2015 by Loop Quote
F360 Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 I was looking at it the whole day on my phone at work whenever I'm free.. .. Do I need one more? For now, I think 2 is enough but..... "stupid "add to cart" button it's still available. Quote
Loop Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 They stay open for a long period of time and I have never been shorted by them. I think even the gold frame is still open if you missed it. Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 (edited) damn you ordered another ... and you were determined to stay with one ... now i feel alone Edited July 4, 2015 by davidwhangchoi Quote
Loop Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 damn you ordered another ... and you were determined to stay with one ... now i feel alone But for how long? Quote
F360 Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 Well, after the pre Holiday rush I was finally able to open some of my orders. The contrast of the Gold and black looks awesome. it really pops with bling bling here and there. Whole Frame is nice and tight and so Freaken pointy ^^, so be careful. The Black parts are indeed fingerprint magnets but not too bad. I also ended up getting a Metal Robot Hi-nu Gundam , to see what's up with this new line. It actually looks like a mini Metal build, but the diecast doesn't stand out as much. All the detail are clean and sharp along with tight joints. If you can get it for a good price I'll say go for it. Too bad they didn't include the effect parts for the funnels. By the way AnimeIsland is having their 4th of July sale which is a extra 15% on some of their items. http://www.anime-island.com/july-4th-sale/?sort=newest Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted July 5, 2015 Posted July 5, 2015 But for how long? i've been away at work and just checking in but i'm so tempted Quote
calubin_175 Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 Metal Build Strike Freedom market price has gone up to around 36000 yen. I got one for 34000 from Yahoo Japan before getting another two for 29109 yen each with free domestic shipping in my country. Given that Gold Frame Amatsu had gone up by 6000 yen in a week, Strike Freedom will be no exception. Quote
